[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think you need to get thicker skin and give him a hug. In a calm moment, Acknowledge that it's hard to live by parental rules as 17, but he still has to. Then suggest you brainstorm ways to make his last year as pleasant as possible. Talk to him about how you stay calm when you are upset (leave the room etc). Explain that you don't believe you talk to him rudely, ask if there are particular phrases you use that he thinks are rude that you should avoid in the future. My sometimes surely, disrespectful teen DD often shapes right up when I show her some unexpected kindness and love. This certainly doesn't always work, but it's worth a try. [/quote]
